I have refrased the question a little bit Johnny :hi:, "Who is the best Guitarist of all time after 1. Jimi Hendrix (for ever) and 2. Stevie Ray Vaughan.??......:unworthy:

 

 

 

 

Jimmy H was a innovator on the guitar.  Love his music but he was also a bit  sloppy. Sorry. But if you really listen to him and then hear some one like Stevie ray vaughn play his music you will hear a huge difference.    One that is way under rated ( and I hate to even bring him in to this ) is John Mayer.  He can play all styles of guitar.  Not the best but highly highly regarded as being very good by other guitarists.  Was shocked when I actually heard him play.  He had different segments in the show that highlighted all the different styles.  Actually worth seeing

This is the best version of this song I have ever heard. Recorded in 1970, it so clean I can not believe my ear bones.

 

I have to laugh at these conversations about who is the "best" or even a better guitarist or any player or band. At the level all these guys have reached, there is no best, it's like arguing about ice cream flavors, they are all very tasty, but you can only declare your favorite, not the best. Just like I like most of the music of the times I was growing up with and also artists songs were only allowed to be about 3 min. long max,that is until the Beatles  came onto the scene and that brought what they called the British Invasion and boy did the music ever change around here in North America.Some real great stuff.

It is a trick question...I saw someone mention styles and genres and that so factors in....

How about Les Paul? Thurston Moore? Ingvie? Malmsteen, George Thorogood..and ya gotta love Rory Gallagher...

Not sure how much love there is for jazz around here, but Mike Stern is one of the best.  I saw him with Eric Johnson, and Mike took him to school.

 

 

I recommend seeing this Pat Metheny live.  He is something else.  And that guitar.......

Hi bds1961, yes I agree with you. But Hendrix as singer, songwriter, unseen innovator then, to me he is still my hero:) ...and Stevie has an incredible technique and feeling. Obviously the question "Best guitarist" is an impossible one: ask 10 people and you get 15 names...and all are right. Its all personal:hi:Ciao Angel

In my opinion Mr. Gilmour has one of the best and most soulful sounds out there..the video is long but worth listening to. Especially if you play guitar

 

YES SIR!!! Got the chance to FINALLY see him 2 years ago here in Canada... blew me away what he can do with a guitar and make it look soooo easy!!!
